Never you mind about Wilkins; his bark's worse than his bite." "And he likes to show off," said another. "Wants people to think what a clever one he is. We'll have some quiet practices together, if you like." "I shall be very glad," said Dick eagerly. "That's right, and you can give us a few hints.
Nous sommes venant pour tabac." "Ah, tabac, tabac!" they cried, and laughed again. "That hit 'em. Let's heave a dory over, anyway," said Tom Platt. "I don't exactly hold no certificates on French, but I know another lingo that goes, I guess. Come on, Harve, an' interpret." The raffle and confusion when he and Harvey were hauled up the bark's black side was indescribable.
"Expect? On a treasure hunt, one hopes; one doesn't expect," Zircon stated in his booming voice. Rick smiled to himself. Probably no Spindrift expedition ever had started with such a flimsy excuse. According to the log of the Maiden Hand, the ship had gone down before the pirates could locate a golden statue of St. Francis, hidden by the bark's captain, Thomas Campion.
But I know no man can keep my money from me, so I soothe her down till she don't whine any more. That's how I know her bark's worser'n her bite. Didn't I tell you about the biscuit?" "Yes," replied Virginia, "and I hope it'll only be bark about the money; what if she didn't get it?" "She'll get it," assured Lafe, positively. Just before bed time Lafe whispered in Jinnie's ear, "Peggy got the two!
"You wouldn't do anything of the kind. Your bark's worse than your bite, sir. And besides, while I think of it, you really must stop saying 'hell' and 'damn' so much. The habit's growing on you." Having no ready answer to that speech, he merely looked at her, perhaps a little guiltily, then bent down and kissed her, and hurried out of the house.
"I believe it looks kind of nubby," encouraged the Angel, backing away, with her face all screwed into a twist in an effort to intensify her vision. Freckles reached the opening, then slid rapidly to the ground. He was almost breathless while his eyes were flashing. "The bark's been cut clean with a knife, the sap scraped away, and a big chip taken out deep.
He's tired to death, he says, of hearing about your lovers, and agrees with me there's no end to them." "Never mind what he says his bark's worse then his bite," Gladys rejoined, "he doesn't really care how many I have so long as they keep within bounds, and I like them! Father!" John Martin, who entered the room at that moment, went straight to his daughter to be kissed.
"I daresay not," remarked Malcolm, and there was a trace of impatience in his tone; "but, after all, Mr. Martin, you are Kit's father." But Caleb only shook his head doubtfully, and went on in his slow, ruminating way. "Most folk think that Ma'am is a bad-natured woman because she gives them the rough side of her tongue; but, Lord bless you, her bark's worse than her bite.
They won't git near enough you to hit you with a sword half a mile long. They're like yaller dogs their bark's the wust thing about 'em. I'll look out for you. You'll stay right by me, all the time, and you won't git hurt. You go back there to my blankits and crawl into 'em and go to sleep. I'll be there as soon's I finish this letter, Forgit all about the rebel cavalry, and go to sleep.
When the whale was grappled onto the bark's side and the line unwound, we found that it still hung down into the sea and was quite taut. "This blamed critter was anchored!" growled Tom Anderly. "And he dragged his anchor at that." "Get onto the winch, boys," said Captain Rogers. "Let's see what's hung to it now." We wound in the line and up came the whale that we had actually struck!
